I don't want to burst your bubble, but a woman would never be allowed to be a shaman. Even though I doubt cavemen even had shamans, but the shaman was a position that was highly regarded, and it was a male position.

we arent commies jonny, they can be women

youve never heard of a woman witch doctor???

its probably just me, but when i think of a witch doctor, i end u thinking of a jamaican woman in a mask (similar to the pic i posted) saying "dont mess with my voodoo, mon"

like i said, probably just me.

come on why would their head need to be deformed i just have the same outline almost and change their facial features/hair

exactly. youve said it yourself. make something original, instead of just using the same outline again and again. you expect to be treated as if you are some drawing god and you cant even make somethin original instead of mechanical copying. any idiot can do that. the fact that you think that is okay and we will all just ignore that fact and say "oh, wow, ur good!!!" makes you a bigger idiot.
make some different art, seriously

Hahaha, I definitely like it. Unfortunately, no, I'm not Scottish. I am Italian though. Does that help?

eh, whats the difference?

jk, jk.

anyways, heres another WIP; im not done yet, but it should be by deadline:P

if not, then this will be my submission

dont mean to post pictures in your thread, but this is kinda what i am thinking of
see? tiki/voodoo mask :P

double post ftw! lol

I think it's that what you wanted to say...? I mean, it's rather difficult to picture that...

well, he said its less aerodynamic, i said clubs dont wear loincloths. yeah... whatever
im not on NG cuz im a comedian. :P

And here's a design for another character card: the Shaman.
I think this one was included by gameplay reasons... Her function is to prevent illnesses from hurting player's tribes. I don't think it's really historical-wise... But, hey: if the game calls for it...
I wanted to make one of the characters a woman. So think of her as a witch-doctor.

maybe add some tiki/voodoo necklace? idk but some kind of neclace or staff with something pertaining to voodoo :) so she would be more easily recognized as the witch doctor

-Subject of most (if not all of their) art was a girl in medieval attire and a large, rose/blood red amulet
-In one peice whe was sitting under tree, from the viewers perspective you were looking down
-Art was very realistic looking. Created in some sort of program but could have been sketched out at first too. Like I said, it was incredably realistic.
-I think their last picture had her in armour.

This what you are looking for?
and anyways, when you start a thread in art forums it must start with a piece of art. its in the rules :)

Things happen, and people lose time, which can suck even more in conjunction with the need to cooperate with someone else; extensions make sense, and your complete hatred of them seems silly and unnecessary to me.

no offense taken. but...
that isnt my point. my point is that a deadline is given to you. you should be able to follow it, instead of procrastinating (in some/most cases) though this isnt as important as, say, a job is, if your boss asks for a report to be handed in by the 30th, you better hand it in by the 30th. he wont be giving extensions. (most likely, anyways)
and even if i am in eighth grade, i have a life. i go out and do stuff (wow, thats gonna be taken out of context)
i know some adults who have no life and sit home and do stuff. besides, you are 16; you dont have much to say about it either :P
and i dont hate them, i just.... disapprove of them. which, of course, is no reason not to have them, but i believe i can voice my opinions :)

The brightness is part of it. I dont consider it a bad thing if poeple need to look at my art for a bit longer. I understand that it might be annoying to you; but for me its an integral part of this drawing.
Thanks for the critique though!

i really like it, its just way too bright to look at :)
once i put on some sunglasses though, i was able to see it clearly, andits looks cool :D

Does it have to make sense they're primitive human beings.

it was a joke. he was saying the cavemen have to be aerodynamic. i said, in a roundabout way, that they throw the clubs, they dont beat the animals with it. so they dont need to be. a joke. funny. ahaha!
jeez.

anyways, BizarroJoe, that is some really nice artwork you got there :) i wanna see more drawings

MOAR!!! :3

And plotring's the nick you give to Jereminion ? I mean if making friends by trying to cheap shot them right below the belt than there would not be any need for enemies.Hopefully he takes the "joke" well.

if you read the post he made, it clearly says "this is a ng user 'plotring' it is pretty well done and accurate as you may see..."
so no im not trying to cheap shot anyone. it wasnt a joke. its a name.

O.o

the clubs dont have to wear loincloths

lol jk plotring :3

I don't think it's accurate at all. It looks nothing like that guy.

i completely agree
but to be a helpful post, let me tell you exactly what you did wrong
1. the hair- wrong color, genius. your sprite-guy has black hair; plotring has brown.
2. the eyebrows- not mentioning the failtastic coloring, in plotrings pic they are (brown, lol) and arched above his eyes. in your sprite pic they arch below the upper eyelashes, and about level with the eye.
3. the... errrr.. beard- plotring shaves. you may see some 5 o'clock shadow or something, but it is certainly not nearly as defined as your picture made it. also, what are the random orange-red spots on your pic? acne? herpes? yeah, well plotring doesnt have any of that.
4. the lips- you are really bad at coloring. maybe youre colorblind. in that case, i apologize for picking on you so much about it, but then again, you shouldnt be coloring stuff if you dont know which colors are which. plotrings lips are... pinkish red (maybe he had some koool-aid? lol) your pics lips are.... white. we arent all gingers (unlike some people...)
5. the nose- in your pic the tip of the nose droops down with no suppport. its cartilage, it doesnt just droop. if i had to compare it to something, id have to say its like a beercan (not the kind you drink... come on, think. youve hear the term before. has to do with a guys... yeahhhh you got it. one that isnt erect. now you definetely have it. yeah. suck it.)

LOL

anyways, hope this helps, and hopefullly you will improve some :)

daywalker!!!!! :3 hahahahahahahhahaha!

Yeah, around this stage was a turning point in hominid evolution that caused our bodies to have less ape-like characteristics.

but i like the shorter-leg-but--normal-sized-arms thing you got going here

and though i know and understand you choose to draw the unclothed cavemen, they do hunt (obviously >.< hunter-gatherers) so i think a loincloth wouldnt be unrealistic
as for the women, yeah loincloths too, but i dont think they had a handy coconut or anything so... yeah lol

Thought that this would be good in a park or a square.

it looks cool, but i think the color of the cube could be a bit more like NG colors (as in a bit brrghter and more yellow-orange :P)
also, the N looks kinda wonky....

You know you're not responding to the OP right? And that Ani-x wasn't talking about your link. I use a mac. ;)

yeah, i know now, i wasnt sure; two links were posted up already when he said that
and nomatter how AMAZING your art it *which it is, absolutely :D) i still dont like macs
they can go to hell

where the devil can rape them o.o
not only because windows is just fine, but if you didnt hear, macs wanna get rid of flash altogether. and you dont want that, do you!??!?!? im sure tom fulp doesnt :P

Posemaniacs works just fine, But i dont go there because it doesn't help much, Other then allowing you to draw what you see with out skin on it.

the muscles and the skin have pratically no space between them (to be specific, less then a couple of mililiters) so it isnt that big of a deal. if you have both muscles and bones done, then you have the outline of your body

If you dont understand proportions, Bones and muscles are not your starting point.

the human skeleton definetely helps with proportions imo, but every artist has a different way around their styles, so i wont really go into that. you will find your own way of doing that
but may i direct you to this page of tuts
you might find something useful there :)

errrrr was this done in paint?
if it was, and im positive it is, shame on you
NEVER USE PAINT >:(

bad Girly789, very bad Girly

and btw....
yes i looked at the better pic, but.... there are many spots you could improve
1. the background. wayyyy too plain, and frankly, the sun is a lopsided circle... more effort could be contributed to this, like clouds and more details and smaller tree trunks
2. ummmm the hair. theres the 2 white dots on the right (our left) side of his/her head. im pretty sure this is suppposed to be glare, but usually, glare is facing the sun, which again, i must point out is lopsided :P
3. the eyes are asymetrical and so are the pupils. just make some ovals and make them even! (especially since you are using paint >:( that goes for your sun as well)

my overall opinion: i would give this a 4/10 if even. paint is bad bad bad unless you are some secret undiscovered god. put more thinking and planning into your work, and never, ever use paint.
Ever.
unless, as i said above, you are a god of some sort.
if you are, then carry on.
but the again, if you are, your art would be amazing.
and hate to break it to you. it isnt.
yet.

thats right, ad all for jonny :3 hope you like
since i scanned it, i might randomly change my mind and do this in SAI, but ill at least try and do it in colored pencils...

btw your reference photo link didnt work, so i had to guess.

looking better, but, personally, i think she can have some more ass. theres pratically nothing there :P

if it doesnt work, you are probably doing something gay, like using a mac or something :)

im not going to get into what i have seen, but if you go and get plain white shoes, you could also opt for getting a nice colorful pack of sharpies.

thats how we do it, old skool
and yeah, it looks really cool, but you should use more colors (seeing as what youre going with, a red or green, or even teal-ish blue would look nice)
fill up some of the void on the toe and back
what would be cool is to also see some art on the tongue, especiallly if iit WAS a tongue
get what im saying ;D hell yeah, you got me
keep drawing, i wanna see how this comes out

well thanx for the advice, holly hell its hard to do woman

well, technically, she IS still salvageable, but you are gonna need a really nice eraser :P
just look at some refs (for example, Posemaniacs) and once you get the idea, try again

but thats the key: practice, practice, practice. the more you try, the more you improve :)

To be perfectly honest, I actually am excited about the possibilities of a BioShock movie, regardless of the overall quality that it might (or might not) achieve. It's just such an atmospheric game.

im sure it would be pretty good, considering
better than it would be if Bioshock was a book
especially with the graphics and technology we got today, itll be epic :3
though i do like Biioshock, im sad to say i have no fanart :( soz
